Stan Bonewitz Jr.
Stan Bonewitz Jr. was one of the greatest scorers in San Antonio high school basketball history. Touted as an “outstanding” three-point shooter by ESPN, he made a name for himself first at East Central High School before moving to Texas Tech University.
Bonewitz’s success in basketball really began his junior season for the Hornets, coached by his father, Stan Bonewitz. The next two years would be some of the best high school basketball San Antonio has ever seen. In 1994, he led the team to the state semifinals before losing to Plano East. The following year, the Hornets went on a tear of the state. The team finished the year 35-0 behind Bonewitz’s 32.1 points per game. In the state championship, he scored 36 points against Dallas Carter.
After graduating, Bonewitz moved north to Texas Tech, displaying his scoring prowess for a new team. Averaging over 12 points per game and shooting .438 percent from the three over his last three years in Lubbock, he was a reliable marksman who could always produce points on the board. He left the Red Raiders as only the second player all time to score 1,000 points and have 400 assists. In 2004, Bonewitz, continuing his dad’s coaching legacy, became the head coach of Concordia University. Along with head coach, he also holds the title of associate director of athletics for the Tornadoes.
